Exploring the Staff Info Form

The Staff Info Form controls many aspects of ClinicTracker.

Form Location: Staff > Staff Info

About the Staff Info Form

You will use the Staff Info Form to create and manage Staff Info Records for each of your staff members. The Staff Info Record is an important hub, containing important information about your staff, their system permissions, and preferences. The Staff Info form is broken down into 4 tabs: Basic Info, Permissions, Preferences, and Additional Options. ClinicTracker will reference the information stored in these tabs to determine how to handle security, records access, scheduling, and more. We have outlined all of the fields below.
